Research Interests

My research interests involve analysing the performance of international businesses (SMEs & MNEs) in relation to complex internationalisation factors, such as psychic distance, which are associated with companies’ foreign expansion; host-country aspects relevant to local adaptation, acceptance, and cultural tolerance; and the influence of socio-cultural factors such as culture, language, religion, level of education, and societal attitudes toward foreign goods and services.
